STEM Community Call September 12, 2013
On Call: Jamie, Stefan, Kun, Chris, Werner, Judy
1.a V 2.0 Milestone 4 releases 7/30
Milestone 4: Bug Fixes and enhancements to model generation core
1.b NEXT MILESTONE/DATE
Milestone 5 rescheduled for 9/20 Bug Fixes and test of draggable solvers
1.c SCHEDULED DATE for V 2.0 release 10/15
1.d Apache dependency - removed objectionable random generator class
V 2.0 Release Features include:
Xtext model generator feature
Graphical Model Design (GUI for code generation, Visual Editor )
Bug Fixes from 1.4.1
Performance improvements
Advanced Dengue Example
Directionally biased mixing model
**Stochastic Modeling - New Solver doc. Fixes to older models
Draggable solver objects
**After Eclipse’s release we need to contact Eclipse legal re Apache
2. New Documentation for 2.0
==== Pubs updated on wiki
==== Updated upcoming (and recent) talks on main website
==== Use of model generator inside of stem (vs in the dev environment) - done
==== Added documentation for Stefan’s new periodic control graph generator - done
==== Documentation for MMR model - done
==== Shape file graph generator - need new screenshop on wiki - done
==== Visual Editor - done and growing
==== Stochastic solver - done
==== **Need to add doc on the multipopulation models: some doc added; TO DO: Stefan to add main page
2.b. New Demos wish list for V2.0
* Demo project for Model Builder Demo. Complete
* Avian Influenza. Complete
* Ealing Measles? Waiting
* Dengue demo? Defer
* Polio demo? TO DO: Kun to target 9/20; will give Jamie/Stefan zipped up project; TO DO: Kun to do more documentation
3. Bugs of the week
400930 Deleting a graph makes models/scenario useless; query--did Alex check “updated references”?
TODO: Chris (also had problems w/ this) will meet w/Alex, come up with suggestions, wish list
409742 Mercator Map Logger does not export images with black borders (pending Matt) = TO DO:Jamie to check
409540 Proposal: Make solvers "first class" objects (a big change, involves GIT; testing in progress)
368889 For M5: Enable stochastic simulations for older disease models
Dengue in progress, TO DO: Kun will check on progress
Stefan will add new stochastic integration test (done)
Kun is working on Polio = meta-model for polio was fixed. Kun: Done
4. Talk accepted at EclipseCon. Chris will attend :-)
Chris attended conference on food chain modeling, encountered info on info biology modeling language SBML
5. ICSE Paper in progress; due tomorrow
6. Items from Participants
Jamie: TO DO: Test/confirm that change in random number generator in V2 doesn’t break integration check
Chris: Query re bug Stefan committed
Werner: Will be in California, will contact Jamie; updates on conference attendance
Jamie: Will be in Germany this fall, may try to connect w/ BfR folks
